SEO Contests

I don’t put much effort in to SEO contests. The prizes are usually too small and the competition too great to make them worth putting a real effort in to winning them. However, I often create an entry just to watch how my entry moves around in search engine results. Call it a hobby.

SEO Contests: Good or Bad?

In a recent post of his, Aaron Pratt suggests that SEO contests serve no purpose other than to damage the industry. At first I thought I had no opinion on the matter, but about 90 minutes later I seem to have formulated one. Yeah, I need to find a hobby.

Dave Pasternack

I just caught wind of a debate going on about whether search engine optimization (SEO) is rocket science or not. Apparently, Dave Pasternack of Did-It thinks it isn't and DMNews recently published a follow-up interview with him about the backlash he received. The kind of reaction he received is not unexpected really. Anyone who is told that their profession could be done by monkeys (reading between the lines of Dave's comments here) is going to be offended.

Redscowl Bluesingsky

SEOLogs.com is sponsoring an SEO contest for the phrase Redscowl Bluesingsky. SEO contests seems to be the thing to do these days to build buzz.

V7ndotcom Elursrebmem - Observations Round 3

Just a quick note to mark the day my entry in the V7ndotcom Elursrebmem SEO contest appeared in Google at position 172. Any other targeted phrase and I'd doubt my own SEO skills, but since I'm up against people that do SEO for a living, I don't feel so bad. In fact, my spin is that since I'm number 172 out of 430,000 I'm actually in the top 0.04%. Not too bad when I think of it that way!

V7ndotcom Elursrebmem - Observations Round 2

The V7ndotcom Elursrebmem SEO contest is now on day 5. Here are some things I've noticed.

V7ndotcom Elursrebmem - Observations Round 1

Yesterday I wrote about the V7ndotcom Elursrebmem SEO contest. I actually have no belief that I will win this contest, but I created a page to see how I would rank compared to others. My primary goal is to pick up a few tips from the those that have the time and inclination to try and win the prize.

V7ndotcom Elursrebmem

V7n.com is running an SEO contest with a grand prize of $4000 and an iPod. Certainly not a life-changing amount, but the added bonus of a prize for SEO probably means that there are going to be a lot of entries.
